Looking for active speaker kit for Hypex Fusion plates for wall attached speakers

I want to build active speakers powered by Hypex Fusion plate amps.

I have looked at DIY kits, and only found the following:

http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/Ekta-2D.htm
http://www.seas.no/index.php?option...=583:seas-kingro4y-mk-iii&catid=66&Itemid=250

My first criteria is that the speakers still sould good if they are close to the walls, or even attached to a wall.

My other criteria is probably not worth mentioning, because it's probably everyone's criteria: I want the best sound I can get for the buck !

My price range ends with the kingro4y.

However, given that the law of diminishing return applies in accoustics as it does in every domain, I am wondering if the Ekta sounds "almost as good" as the kingro4y-mk-iii. If it does, I would probably chose it.

If however the quality ratio between the two is the same as their price ratio, I would be tempted by the kingro4y.

Are there other DIY kits that would work well with Fusion Amp plates ?

Tanks, appologies for these very non professional questions !

I've also been looking for something very similar, DIY active speaker/monitor usable close to the wall. I have been watching Alexander from Heißmann-Acoustics. He states in the comments here https://heissmann-acoustics.de/en/dxt-mon-vs-neumann-kh-120a/ an upcoming DXT-MON with fusion plate amp "merger".

I have also been keeping a close eye on both the Directiva and streamer ASR projects :

https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/asr-open-source-streamer-project.20840/

I'll let you know if I see any others during my research.
